Some of the best places in and around Pittsburgh are the libraries.  When some of these libraries were built they were way more than a place to find books – both the Braddock Library and the Homestead libraries had pools and gymnasiums too.

This Saturday this first new library building in Pittsburgh will open in the Hill District.

Stop by between 9:30 am and 1pm to celebrate the new library with crafts, storytelling, puppet shows and more.
